The girls

This picture is from last summer and obviously it was a good one!  We are going to make this one even better. Emma and Hannah both are going to do junior rodeo and help with the garden.  Both are researching how to grow a giant pumpkin and are learning to ride a horse and goat tie.  The goat tying is going slowly because the goat had a bit of diarrhea and no one wanted to touch him.   Billy, the goat, is doing much better now so the goat tying lessons will continue.  I wonder if he got sick on purpose so no one would tie him up for a while?  
We are all trying our best to keep Eve from getting hurt this summer.  She loves the animals so when everyone is learning to ride I spend my time chasing her so she doesn't get kicked by a horse.  The other day she was trying really hard to feed the goat his pellets, the ones that came out of the back end. 
Mom is going to help all three girls complete the summer reading program at the library.  With all this planed hopefully there won't be time to get bored or into trouble.

Summer school (Aka...mom being bossy) began today for my kiddos! I printed lots of worksheets to work a little with them on each day!
